R R R RORCRRCIOR Y ! READ THE FACTS. When Viggo Peterson filed charges of corruption and incom- | petence against Sheriff Alvin B. { Hazen last May a cry of “poli- tics” went up ‘and under its black cloak Hazen has hidden ever since and under this cover i the attorney general of the state has stubbornly refused to take official notice of the accusation that Beltrami county is being 1 robbed. ‘ Angd there were some—not so many as in times gone by, we believe—whose tender hearts, or dearly beloved pocketbooks, caused them to suggest that “the election is over—now let Hazen rest in peace,” and this thrust was mostly aimed at the Pioneer because this paper has dared to editorially call attention to the irregularities which appear to exist in the sheriff’s office and because it has printed the news developments of the case from time to time. Just why a public official should be permitted to.plunder the public with no hand raised to stop the stealing, except when l there is an election on, is some- thing we- can not understand. This paper is trying to stand for decency and desirable public of- ficials and when a servant of the people becomes so deplorably out of place as Sheriff Hazen appears to pe we shall lend our influence to wipe the evil out. It has been said that it “isn’t fair for the Pioneer to jump on the sheriff for-the sheriff hasn’t any chance to make a defense.” Any time Mr. Hazen wishes to offer any defense, the columns of the Pioneer are open to him. Whatever he wants to say will be printed and, furthermore, if he will agree to the investiga- tion which Viggo Peterson has been plead'ng so hard for and will go into that investigation and prove that the charges against him are untrue and that he is innocent, we shall spread the glad tidings under the big- gest headings we have in the office. As a matter of fact, Mr. Haz- en’s intellectual construction is such that his only desire at sat- isfaction appears to be to smite some one on the nose with a hard and heavy fist. His idea of clearing the stain which now stamps him, is to run about the streets and in public places en- umerating the particular per- sons whom he proposes to beat to a pulp. 'This may relieve Mr. Hazen's feelings but the fact re- mains that he stands charged with wilful, malicious misappro- priation of the people’s money and he can chew the ear off ev- ery individual in the county who insists that such things should not be, and still he will be looked upon with suspicion by sober minded- citizens. Now, here is the point which we wish to emphasize at this time. In this.issue of the Pio- ‘neer there -appears an answer from the county attorney in re- ply to a writ of mandamus is- sued on behalf of Mr. Hazen who seeks to collect certain sums from the county held up by Chairman Peterson and County Auditor George. This action, it should be re- membered was brought by Mr. Hazen himself. In this there is no designing “politician,” plot- ting against him. The sheriff makes a demand upon the coun- ty to pay this money over to him. Here, for once, Mr. Hazen takes the iniatitive. DPon’t you think it your duty to read the county attorney’s re- ply—not merely to glance at tife headlines and with a sigh 84§, “there’s another tirade against Hazen,” but to read it careful- ly, so that you will understand Jjust what sort of a man it is whom the attorney general of the state has taken to his arms for protection and just what kind of an official you have working for you in the import- ant office of sheriff? Kentucky’s mint crop is ruined and the colonels are gasping for breath. Aviator Atwood should have in- cluded Minnesota in his trip. He would have saved three cents a mile here.

Junkin feels that he is now in a position to tell the people Jjust how they should treat their lo- cal paper and its editor without be- ing accused of having a selfish pur- pose. He has written a “communi- cation” on how to make the editor effective, in which he says in part: “Remember, he is a human being with frailties like other people, al- though he generally has his natural weaknesses under better control than most men. Try to develop his sunny side by an occasional word of praise. “““Encourage him in a business way. He can be made the community's best. asset. The newspaper, more than any other factor, has to do with the town’s welfare. It is a bugle an- nouncing the dawn of new enter- prises. It is a pack horse bearing burdens when others are knocking or shirking. It is the one force that should always bring hopefulness. No clouds should be without silver lin- ings, if the newspaper meets its op- portunity. These things and more the newspaper can and will do for the town which will get behind it. Usually the careful business man tries to keep his assets unimpaired. A town should do the same—and a good newspaper is its best asset. “And in the name of common de- cency, don’t talk about boycotting a paper or starting a cut-throat oppo- | sition because the editor is passively.| or actively. on the other side of & town fight. :He won’t.amount to two team to aeroplane,” is|| oxen don’t need to feel sg bad about Having sold his Sterling Bulletin. |} either a two or three room modern school house.

A marvelous immediate future awaits Northern Minnesota. The tremen- dous possibilities that lie at our:very. doors-are grasped by but few. Those upon whom this realization has already dawned have either bought some of this land or have concluded to do so. Many are making selections daily. Since the Crookston Lumber Company have offered their entire holdings of cut overlands for sale -thousands of acres have been purchased and in almost every instauce the purchaser has come from out of the state or the southern portion of Minnesota. Our own people do as yet not realize the “Bigness of the Bargains.” Think Of It $1.50 per acre down and the land is.yours. - And - too; it's some. of the best-land that God has created. It's productive qualities cannot be ‘fiqualed CROOKSTON anywhere on earth. You pay $1.50 per acre down and the balance on or before 20 years at 5 per cent yearly interest. From $5.00 to $11.00 Per Acre Why so cheap?—You ask. Here's the reason: The Crookston Lumber Co. says; we're not in the land business. Our business is lumber. We bought the land for the timber on it. The timber has been cut and the land must be sold or given away as is practically being done at the above terms and prices. Now you who live near by; don't let the outsiders get all the best sections Get busy. Call, phone or write the Crookston Lumber Co. and they will fur- nish you with price list and general description of these lands and they .will also be pleased to send a competant man with you to leck over any-tract you desire.
